New google plus

You're referring to the new Google+!

In October 2018, Google announced that it would be shutting down Google+ for consumers due to a data breach that exposed the personal data of millions of users. However, the platform was not entirely shut down. Instead, Google decided to rebrand and relaunch Google+ as a more focused, enterprise-oriented platform.

Here are some key changes and updates about the new Google+:

New Name: Google Currents (not to be confused with the old Google+)

Target Audience: Businesses, organizations, and communities

Features:

  1. Enhanced security: Google has implemented stricter security measures to protect user data.
  2. Improved moderation tools: Admins can now manage comments, posts, and communities more effectively.
  3. Enhanced analytics: Users can track engagement, audience growth, and other metrics.
  4. Integration with other Google tools: Google Currents integrates with other Google apps, such as Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Sheets.
  5. New design: The platform has a fresh, modern design that's more intuitive and user-friendly.

Key differences from the old Google+:

  1. No personal profiles: Users can't create personal profiles or connect with friends and family.
  2. No public posts: Posts are only visible to members of the same community or organization.
  3. No public search: Posts are not searchable by the general public.

Who is it for?

Google Currents is designed for businesses, organizations, and communities that want to collaborate, share information, and engage with their audience in a secure and controlled environment.
